How to connect
Two paths: one-tap connection via the Telegram Mini App, or importing the subscription link into an app.
Two ways to connect
Telegram Mini App (one tap)
Open @northonvpn_bot and launch the "Connect" Mini App. It configures the connection for you — the easiest path for beginners.
Import the subscription link
Copy the subscription link in the bot and add it to your VPN client as a "subscription" (subscription/profile from URL). The client pulls in all servers automatically.
Per-platform instructions
Android
Happ, v2rayNG, NekoBox- 1 Install a client (e.g. Happ or v2rayNG) from Google Play or an APK.
- 2 Copy the subscription link in the bot.
- 3 In the client, add a subscription from the clipboard (Add subscription / Import from clipboard).
- 4 Update the subscription, pick a server and tap Connect.
iOS
Happ, Streisand, Shadowrocket- 1 Install Happ or Streisand from the App Store (Shadowrocket is paid).
- 2 Copy the subscription link from the bot.
- 3 Add the subscription to the client (often just opening the link offers an import).
- 4 Allow the VPN configuration and connect.

How to update the subscription
The server list can change. In your client, open the subscriptions section and tap Update (Update subscription) — the app will fetch the current servers. You can enable auto-update if your client supports it.
If something doesn't work
- Subscription won't update — switch networks (mobile ↔ Wi-Fi) and try again; re-import the link if needed.
- One server won't connect — pick another location or protocol (e.g. Hysteria 2 for mobile networks).
- Slow speed — try the nearest location or a different protocol.
- Still stuck — message support @northonvpn_support.
